My first scratch built model was a TID Tug.I made the main superstructure from plastic card grafted onto a second-hand glass fibre hull that I had bought previously.

The model was made as an early military open cockpit type.
The green non-slip deck area was given a textured finish by stippling it with a small burr. I laminate several layers of foam plastic card together and turned them to make the distinctive funnel base shape. The Buhler motor run perfectly on a 6 volt motor cycle battery and on a 12 volt battery when the conditions were rough and more power was needed to make good headway. The 6volt battery would last for a typical days sailing but the duration was reduced to half a day when running on 12 volts.
